Firebird sidebars coming soon

Mozillazine are carrying a preview of the next release of the excellent Firebird browser, with the most exciting new feature being the new support for Mozilla style sidebars (previously known as web panels). I’m looking forward to being able to browse with my blo.gs powered blogroll in a side panel again.

Um, don't nightly builds already have it?

Nightly has it now, not sure if it did have it though until recently. I quite like the whole 'target="_search"', and 'open in search pane' thing though, nice addition.

Sidebars will make FireBird a near perfect product, I'd say. Already, the collection of extensions is impressive. I just wish more people knew about them, because I freqeuntly see complaints like "Firebird doesn't even have all the functionality of Mozilla", etc. To me, that's the whole point! Speaking of soon, when is the next post coming?
